Around 2 years ago I wrote an
open letter singing praises of Arvind Kejriwal. This letter was in response to
his open letter in TOI. Kejriwal, at that time looked to me & many as
strong anti-corruption activist, whose pictures of sleeping on train plateform
made me promote him through my social media handles. I really liked activist Kejriwal
& was inspired by his story of having education from IIT & leaving IRS
job to join activism in India’s interest. I looked upon him as someone who
could be an inspiration for today’s youth, just like Narendra Modi. I hope you
are noticing my use of past tense in above sentences for Kejriwal.

Today, when a new year 2014 is
waiting for us, situation has changed dramatically. I joined anti-corruption
movement in hope that lokpal bill be passed & Congress will be removed from
government & finally finished for good. For me Congress is root of all
evils in India & it can’t change its basic character of divide & rule, institutionalized
corruption, communalism, minority appeasement, casteism & povertarianism
etc. Congress is against aspirational politics, as awakened masses are no
longer interested in only filled stomach. This century can belong to India, if
we play our cards well. Anyways, I was on Ramleela grounds on August 2011, when
Anna broke his fast on Congress promise of passing Lokpal bill. We all were
overjoyed & danced till late night on 27th August & again on
28th August. I noticed one thing but ignored, some volunteers were
distributing “Swaraj” written by Kejriwal & I couldn’t understand why
Kejriwal is promoting himself when agitation is on full swing. I got the answer
in December 2012, when after some more fast drama, Kejriwal hijacked Anna’s
movement & talked about launching political party. I was alarmed &
wrote a blog that only Congress will benefit by such move. Today, my fears are
proven right. I'm not against anyone forming political party but feeling that
someone rode on my shoulder, or people like me to help Cong in end is not a nice
feeling as Congress is & will remain root of all evils, until we finish it
off politically.

Kejriwal & his comrades,
under guidance of Comrade Yogendra Yadav chose Delhi as their political play-ground.
They already had their names known to people through Anna’s agitation &
ready volunteers who could be used for political work. Many AAP volunteers, who
supported Kejriwal for CM candidate, were supporting Narendra Modi for PM
candidate too. AAP leadership started coining phrase like AK4CM & Modi4PM
to keep their prospective voters focused on voting for them in Delhi Assembly
elections. Some were telling that AAP just want to remain in Delhi, which just
has 7 Loksabha seats & we are not going to harm Modi’s national campaign. I
came across these types of volunteers on social media too & it’s a well-documented
fact. What amazed me was how easy it was for AAP leadership to fool people with
such slogans. As I know that Comrade Yogendra Yadav, till very recently was on
advisory panel of Rahul Gandhi. Similarly Arvind Kejriwal’s first guru Aruna
Roy is in Sonia’s NAC. These people are very close to Congress & will any
time give or take support in name of secularism or some other stupidity. I am
guessing that in 2019 elections, Yogendra & Kejriwal will be left &
right hand of Rahul Gandhi, well that’s another topic & I know I will get a
more solid ground to write on this too.

I wanted to write on AAP &
its politics before start of Delhi elections, but took some time to see them in
action & to be sure that my conclusions don’t sound superficial. After seeing
Kejriwal doing summersault on majority of promises that he made before
elections, I am more than convinced that Kejriwal & AAP are just a tool to
keep away Narendra Modi from becoming Prime Minister of Indian in 2014.
Congress is like manipulative vamp, which just goes after short term strategies
to win whatever it can. Congress knows that in first past the post system of
democracy, if you can divide enough votes in multi angle contest, you have a bigger
chance of winning, than you can cobble an alliance in name of secularism &
keep on looting the nation.

Congress has two primary vote
banks, Muslim & Christian Minorities & poor. Muslims are shown fear of
RSS & Modi every time & similarly poor are given bribe of free food, free
money via wasteful schemes like NREGA to make them vote again & again for
Congress. Congress doesn’t want poor to aspire for more than free things as it
will trouble status quo of voting pattern. Educated middle class also voted for
Congress or remained passive in last general election as economy peaked as
Congress rode on good work done by BJP government. This time middle class is
angry & want to punish Congress badly. To not let educated middle class en-block
against them Congress needed a party which can cut enough votes to give
Congress a fighting chance.

Congress has three types of party
supporting it, indirect supporters like SP, BSP, NCP & DMK who under grab
of secularism just want gravy train to go on. Second are direct supporters
which merge in Congress after some time like PRP of Chiranjeevi. AAP will
belong to this category. Third category is of MNS types, against who if
Congress wants, can act on law & order issue, but won’t as it helps
Congress to keep voters divided & win.

So AAP & Kejriwal, who have
captured support of some educated illiterate Indians, are seen as useful in
2014 general elections to divide anti congress educated middle class votes
& stop Modi from coming to power. You might have seen how status quoists
media, which found it hard to support Congress after so many scams, is so much
interested in pitching for Kejriwal as PM candidate just after winning 28 seats
in assembly elections. Congress through media wants to give Kejriwal more space
than he deserves just to make sure that he cuts enough votes in 2014 elections.
I just hope that educated middle class sees through this design & keep
their support for Modi in 2014 General Elections.

BJP & Narendra Modi
supporters have to work tirelessly to remove the mask from AAP & Congress. Before
elections every AAP supporter was shouting Cong-BJP Bhai-Bhai to just equate
Congress & BJP & pitch AAP as different from both. AAP volunteers conveniently
ignored the fact that BJP has never given or taken support from Congress to
form any government. AAP now sits comfortably in Congress lap & has formed
government with their support, but still claims that it’s Cong-BJP Bhai Bhai! I
am just amazed at their lying & propagandist capability, which only matches
with Congress, BSP & SP. Kejriwal has become an educated version of Lalu,
Mulayam & Mayawati, who might abuse Congress from time to time but will
take & give support under some pretext, most commonly on Secularism.

If you connect all the dots from
past 2 months, it will become clear that AAP is nothing but follower of
Congress dirty politics, Communist economic visions & copying some BJP strategies.
AAP has well known naxal like Binayak Sen on its committees, it has anti
nationals like Prashant Bhushan, who openly advocates J&K referendum,
Kejriwal questions Batla house encounter & martyrdom of inspector MC
Sharma, Kejriwal meets Fatwa issuer Tauqeer Khan & joins hands with Bukhari
to get Muslim votes. AAP also inducts
anti-development foreign funded activists like Udayakumar in Tamil Nadu &
opposes nuclear energy for India. Bhushan is also actively seeking support from
communist parties & will welcome more communist people under their umbrella.
It raises very important question for educated middle class- will they support
such party which denies Indians energy & keep us backward? Is corruption
only issue & others like national integrity, people’s security, promoting
meritocracy instead of dole based status quo type society, are non-issues? Does
the educated middle class want inefficiency of old government days when everything
was owned & delivered by government? In my view by supporting Kejriwal &
AAP, educated middle class is only supporting Congress & Communist style
tokenism & symbolism & wasting its crucial vote when we are so close to
throw out Congress from India. Parties like AAP only prolonging the inevitable
demise of Congress by cutting educated anti Congress votes.

More you listen to Kejriwal these
days, more lunatic he sounds. In one
morning he says why BJP didn't purchase 4 more MLAs & formed government in
Delhi, in evening he starts abusing Anna as Anna gives his approval for Lokpal
bill, which was cleared by Parliament Select committee. Kejriwal also asks Cong
what is the meaning of "unconditional" support. Well he is IITian,
can surely look into dictionary. He writes to BJP & asks them to agree to
his conditions to form government. Has anyone ever heard that a party which is
going to form government asks opposition party to agree to its demand to sit in
opposition? He is just three days old in government but it has exposed him thoroughly.
First he swore on his children’s head that he won’t take & give support but
now conveniently sits in Congress lap. In haste he orders free water till
20KL/month to be given to those with meters in Delhi. Now majority of Delhites don’t
have meters & those who use more than 20KL/Month water will have to pay 10%
more amount of all the water that they have used. This is infact costly than
what these people are paying now. Similar ridiculousness is with electricity.
Kejriwal & AAP shouted that Electricity companies are doing extortion &
electricity can be given atleast 50% cheaper. But reality strikes him & now
he gives 50% subsidy to people who use less than 400 units. So electricity
companies are not exactly robbing as claimed by him & AAP. In last two days
he has caused 240 Cr losses to exchequer for tokenism. Similarly he has refused
to take security but we all know that police needed 10 times more policemen to
allow CM his tokenism joyride in Metro, where Mr. Satyawadi was sitting on
seats reserved for women.

It’s amazing irony that party
which was formed on anti-corruption plank is doing free water, cheap
electricity bribery to voters in just 3 days of its office. What is the
difference between Congress giving free food & loan waiver bribe to Poor
& AAP’s free water bribe to Delhites? What is the difference between an
anti-national Arundhati Roy who demands referendum in J&K & Prashant
Bhushan? What is the difference between a Digvijay pandering for Muslim votes
by questioning martyrdom of inspector Sharma & Kejriwal? What is the
difference between naxals who are anti-development extortionists & Naxal
Binayak Sen sitting in AAP’s committee? What is the difference between Jihadies claiming Yasin Bhatkal is innocent & Kamal Farooqi saying the same?

I am tired of Kejriwal showing
holier than thou attitude but doing the same thing again & again. I will
give him some respect if he just stop pretending to be different when it's
nothing different which is happening in Delhi, stops having this holier than
thou attitude when Anjali Damania can claim to be farmer to do land grab, when
Shazia's secretary gets expelled for accepting black money. There is nothing
different which AAP is doing which is not already in place. Also as per as per
AAP's last pre-election survey by great Yogendra Yadav it should have got 47
seats. Before elections, every month they did false survey to boost morale of
AAP supporters & Yadav admitted it on TV too that they were Farzi surveys.
Don't you think that people who claim to stand on pinnacle of truth shouldn't
take Farzi route? Sometimes I feel that like Congress needs poor people to do
its politics, Kejriwal & AAP need corruption to do theirs.

AAP is nothing but combination of
Communist & Congress politics. I urge educated Indians, who after a long
time have started taking active interest in politics beware about value of
their vote & support. AAP's economic & national security policies (not
all clear but you can see its glimpses) will do no good for India. Their
economic agenda & national policies are Communist+ Congress mixture with a
pinch of anti-corruption & holier than everyone flavor. Please don’t waste
your vote & support on new comers whose main agenda is to stop Modiji by
dividing educated urban class anti congress votes. Main point is whatever
Kejriwal & Gang wants, that change is already happening in many states in
one way or another. If you still want to do experiment with your vote &
support than please do it after 2014 general elections. Till than please don’t
waste it on someone who is again going to strengthen Congress.
